"What a great honeymoon!"
The Expert Africa team delivered the honeymoon we were after and suggested the perfect resorts to suit the type of holiday we wanted, in line with our personalities and expectations. All flights, connections and bookings happened as promised and it was a smooth transition through each stage of our break.
We wanted to go away and start our married life together in a beautiful country and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime holiday, without having to worry about the admin and minor details of transfers, etc. Expert Africa delivered exactly what we wanted and I would recommend anyone considering a safari to get in touch with the team so they can use their experience to deliver exactly what you want.

"We had the most wonderful time."
We loved being on safari, the choice of camps was inspired and I would definitely choose similar camps next time. The Zanzibar beach lodge is a real gem, another excellent suggestion.
The only disappointment was the Zanzibar Palace Hotel which I would most definitely not recommend.

The service was excellent and I have already recommended Expert Africa to friends. I will certainly use you again.
Many thanks for a wonderful trip!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
"June in Southern Tanzania"
In Selous at least this was probably partly due to the still abundant water supply and lush vegetation, making some of the game a bit elusive. We also noticed that quite a few of the animals in both locations were still very wary of any vehicles. We were really pleased that we chose Oyster Bay for our last night - it was a delightful and gourmet end to the trip.

Not really - you already do a pretty good job and we recommend you to anyone who want a good introduction to or advice on travelling in sub-Saharan Africa." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

Selous was magnificent, Impala really was faultless, the guides very good and the team very friendly and attentive. Lake Manze was an interesting contrsat, liked the sociability and the lack of electricity and the enthusiasm of Sarah the manager.The guides I didnt find quite so good but still fine.
The only thing I would have done differently is maybe go to a different area for the second half of the trip in Selous.

Maybe a little help with the links to possible sources of info re accomodation in Dar would have been helpful to us prior to our main trip with you but realise this may be alot to expect!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari
"Loved every minute!"
i have already given your details to several of my friends and colleagues" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 3 on a Tanzania safari
"Family trip of a lifetime to Africa"
The camps were exactly as they had been described, so no place for disappointment; if anything, they were better than we had hoped for. It was a great advantage to be able to speak to knowledgable staff in London who could really help find the right places for us. Liz tried to persuade us not to go in February, and it was very hot, but we like that, coming from the European winter!
I would definitely recommend both the company and the camps to friends. Many thanks.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I can't think of anything much! You might suggest that people bring their own rock shoes, as the coral and the urchins are quite a hazard.
Many thanks!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday
"Fantastic Trip"
We were meet at Arusha by our guide /driver Jackson who looked after us for 8 days. At all times he was absolutely excellent . Endlessly cheerful, he did his utmost to fill our game viewing desires. The vehicle was cleaned after every day and with the amount of mud we collected in and out that was no mean feat. Somedays we out practically out from dawn til dusk , always looking for the next sighting. Tea ,drinks and lunch stops he took in his stride , putting out the tables and chairs in some fantastic locations
Many thanks to Claire for all her advice and planning the trip for us.
